Oh. Slammed at 3:20+. Nice.

Politely slammed, I may add.

And again at 4:10, a bit more forcefully. Nice.

Wow, there IS such a thing as a reasonable politician.

Laughed at the ecstatic, fanatically crazed girl at 5:15

About goddamn time...

God why am I so scared he's going to get shot?

Oh yeah 7 years of expecting nothing but the worst.

Amen Farhad, I'm very scared of the same thing.

Being Canadian, I am still interested in the political process of America, and have been following this election as best as I can, and I honestly hope that Obama is voted in, he seems to be precisely what is needed. I'm also disappointed that Ron Paul wasn't gigen more coverage, and had a better chance, for even though he was Republican he has quite the excellent heado on his shoulders.

And, Farhad, Calvados, I wonder the same thing as well.

Man he is good.

Almost scary good.

And tacos DOES rule.. mmmm tacos

ARRRGGGH! I dislike this guy... He's got my vote over Hillary and McCain, though. Sad.

^ Out of curiosity, why--and in what way--do you dislike him?

"Former President Clinton and her husband (a convicted felon) are proven crooks. But I haven't done anything so WHO KNOWS what kind of grab bag you're gonna get! HOPE BREEDS CHANGE FOR THE CHANGE OF HOPE! CHANGE YOUR HOPE EVERY 3000 MILES!"

Very nice BIG upvote.

Either way.. it's a win-win for the CFR and Trilateral commission. They get one of their's in the office seat that will appoint a legion of their lackeys to do their bidding. Just look at the history books.. as it repeats itself yet again.

I'd vote for the guy if he had more then.. zero foreign policy experience. When he talks about some of his ideas for things like Iraq, they are very often naive and short sighted.

However, I think he'll make a great vice president with enough power to get some great work done.

I hate him because he's tall.

OK, being an Australian I again, am distanced from all this, but the more I see, the more I like what I see of Obama, and what he says here about removing the influence of the huge lobbies and HMOs etc. IS what is needed in the States. Oh, man I hope he gets in now, I think he really, hopefully has what it takes.

And Quantummushroom... why say that Clinton was a felon (which he is IS NOT), while ignoring that your f*cking poster child in Bush, the man who you voted in with no understanding of how amazingly un credentialed he was for office... has a past of substance abuse, both legal and illegal, and has a DUI on his record.

Come on, stop flinging shit when the ones you so dearly love with your humongously right wing mind are already mired deeply in it.

He's miles ahead of the rest, but still a bit too conservative on some issues. But it'll probably be another 40 years before a president has the balls to try to undo what the Red Scare did to the currency and the pledge of allegiance.

Laws that require public displays of religiosity, such as saying oaths ending with "so help me god", should be repealed.

Yes! He's put into words what I've been missing for some time. The government is created by the people, and needs to answer to the people. Maybe "bottom-up democracy" isn't a very sexy term, but he gets what is missing in Washington.

Let me try tofumar-

Political Nobody
Senator since 05'
Nefarious association with fringe Liberation Theology church (God+political activism+Marxist class-struggle bullshit) pastored by afro-centric blow-hard.
NAFTA and NAU dickless, will fast-forward the process rather than address those issues, which trump the concerns of health care and the war in Iraq with the MAJORITY of Americans.


His appeal with most of the 20-somethings seems to be his articulation and command of the English language and semantics, and his youthful and energetic appearance...and his skin color, all a welcome change of course, from the otolaryngologically-challenged, lying, elitist good-ol-boy of the past 8 years...

other than that, same old same old...
Harvard Law Grad, Columbia University Grad, got some blood running through his veins that have run through all president's veins since Washington-(blood kin with Bush and Cheney, unless you have forgotten)

He's a goddamn insider-implant, exactly like Clinton, like all presidents are. Welcome to Amerimexicanada.

Is it just me who thinks he looks like a Garbage Pail Kid?

^ Yes.
